Chapter 27 Li Shanchang is a little worried

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yuanzhang met with Li Shanchang and asked him to transfer [-] guan of treasure notes into the palace as soon as possible.

Li Shanchang's work efficiency was naturally first-class, and he brought money into the palace within a few moments.

"Shan Chang, do you know what we need these treasures for?"

"How can we, the ministers, guess the intentions of the superiors?"

"To tell you the truth, we just made a big deal! We are going to release this ten thousand yuan and earn [-]% interest for a year!"

"Seventy percent interest? That's so high! What fool would do this? Please forgive me for speaking frankly. Could it be that you, the superior, are using force?"

"Nothing! He is willing to do it!"

Li Shanchang was suddenly stunned: "There are still such people in the world? You dare to borrow money with [-]% profit, are you crazy?"

"He's not crazy! With [-] yuan, he can make at least twenty times the profit! Give us [-]% interest, it's not worth mentioning at all!"

Li Shanchang laughed dumbly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Invest ten thousand and earn twenty times? I don't believe anyone has such ability! Even Shen Wansan back then didn't have such ability!"

"He is not Shen Wansan, he is Guangfeng Bo Liao Tiancheng! He said personally that he is sure to make twenty times the profit, and it is still a conservative estimate!"

Li Shanchang became more serious: "What else did he have in mind? But in my opinion, even white sugar and salt only make small profits but quick turnover. I still think it is impossible to achieve a huge profit of twenty times."

"He wants to make money by selling glass! Although we don't believe it, we have already gone through the business procedures for him and are ready to let him give it a try! This ten thousand yuan is the start-up capital lent to him."

Li Shanchang's eyes suddenly flashed with a hint of worry.

He and Hu Weiyong were originally responsible for the glass industry. It was the only company in the country, so it didn't matter if it didn't do well because there was no comparison object. Moreover, because it was a monopoly, prices could be set at will, making it easy to make a profit.

But now that there is Liao Tiancheng, this business will be difficult to do.

"Shanchang, you and Weiyong need to work harder! We heard from Liao Tiancheng that he has many ideas to ensure that the glass sells well! You and Weiyong are role models for all officials and the face of the court, so don't be compared. Get down."

Li Shanchang thought for a moment and gained confidence again: "Don't worry, superiors. Compared with Liao Tiancheng, we have great advantages! With many people, more money, more resources, and more ways, we are not afraid of being compared with him! The pearl of rice, How can it be compared with the power of one day?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with his attitude: "In this way, we can rest assured! We are actually afraid that you will be compared and lose face. You are the people we selected, and if you are compared, our face will not look good."

However, after Li Shanchang left the palace, he immediately invited Hu Weiyong to his house for a secret discussion.

"Wei Yong, I always feel a little worried about this matter. Why do I always feel that the two of us are going to fall into the hands of Liao Tiancheng?"

"You are worrying too much. As you said, Liao Tiancheng borrowed all the money from the court to set up a factory! For this alone, we can crush him! What we can use is the huge funds in the national treasury! How big can he do with [-] guan? It's nothing to worry about if he makes a small fuss."

Hu Weiyong's words made Li Shanchang feel much more relaxed.

"Having said that, it's better to be careful. First let's see what his methods are. If he can really threaten us, then we have to use some means to restrain him. Otherwise, our errand will be ruined and lost. It’s really an unforgivable sin to save the superior’s face.”

It was already autumn, and Liao Tiancheng had nothing to do, so he took his maid to wander around his farmland.

"I said, it's been so many days and I still don't know what your name is. Tiantian's girl is long and girl's is short, so calling her not close enough."

Looking at the green crops everywhere, Liao Tiancheng was in a good mood, and he actually cared about the name of his maid.

Princess Ning Guo sneered: "Who wants to get close to you? Dirty!"

But having said that, Princess Ning Guo still said her real name: "My name is Zhu Yuqing, please remember it!"

Although I have never heard of the eldest princess's name, the surname itself is scary.

"Zhu? You are not a relative of the emperor, are you?" Liao Tiancheng was a little panicked.

Just kidding, the descendants of the Zhu family are all privileged. To put it simply, ordinary people must be polite when meeting them, and any violations will be dealt with by specialized agencies.

All the royal relatives named Zhu are people who sit high in the clouds, and the common people have to look up.

If she is really a member of the Zhu family, then by asking her to be a maid, wouldn't it be like looking for rocks in a manhole and seeking death?
"Scared?"

Princess Ningguo was a little proud.

But suddenly he remembered that he could not reveal his identity, and immediately curled his lips.

"If I were a relative of the emperor, I would have sent someone to deal with you a long time ago! You yell at me every day, and you want me to accompany you to wander around..."

Since he was no longer a relative of the emperor, Liao Tiancheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

While chatting, the two of them arrived at a wasteland.

The terrain here is flat, with canals flowing around it, making it a fertile farmland.

There is also a sign on the side with the words "Guangfeng Bo" written on it.

"What a good location! I still have some corn seeds at home, so I will plant them next year! Corn freedom will be achieved in a few years!"

Looking at the side, it turned out to be the farmland of Wei Guogong Xu Da.

Xu Da's fields stretch as far as the eye can see. Compared with Xu Da's, my own fields pale into insignificance.

"As expected of a famous founding general, this treatment is extraordinary!"

Liao Tiancheng couldn't help but sigh.

"Are you envious? With your little land, how dare you compete with Duke Wei?"

Princess Ningguo next to her laughed at him when she found the opportunity.

"How can I compare? I'm just expressing my feelings casually! Let me tell you Zhu Yuqing, can you be a little more enlightened like a maid? If you continue to do this, you can warm my bed in the future!"

Princess Ningguo curled her lips and immediately stopped.

At present, his farmland has missed the farming season, and he is not in a hurry to find tenants. However, he still needs to find enough people to help him farm before next spring.

As a person with a title, Liao Tiancheng does not need to pay taxes on the [-] acres of farmland, as long as he provides necessary living conditions for the tenants.

If there wasn't a good business like glass, farming was a great way to make a fortune.

But for Liao Tiancheng, who was about to have a glass factory, he really looked down upon the little profit from Zhuangtian.

Even the unknown amount of fertile land owned by Wei Guogong Xu Da was just that, not particularly attractive in Liao Tiancheng's eyes.

"I'm going back! Let's see if I got the money for me. If I have money, I'll set up a factory!"

Liao Tiancheng had a headache when he turned around and saw Princess Ning Guo catching butterflies again.

"Zhu Yuqing, you can't owe me money but do nothing and still eat and drink here. You really just want to be an eye-catching vase!"

"Do you know arithmetic? Can you read? I'll arrange an errand for you later!"
